Opportunity for "Early Career" Teachers of Social Studies

Click on http://www.billofrightsinstitute.org/news/ for information regarding a new program, not part of the National Endowment for the Humanities, but rather presented by the Bill of Rights Institute, which has held great workshops at Mt. Vernon, Virginia, and will presumably do so again in the next few years.

Not only does this provide an opportunity for new teachers of social studies to attend a world-class event, but will also provide additional interest in your applications for new positions. The Founders Fellowship Program was made possible by a generous grant from Drs. Jack and Pina Templeton. If memory serves me correctly, Dr. John Templeton and his family were responsible for providing our workshop group with an incredible reception on the back portico at Mt. Vernon in 2008. If you do attend this event, or if you have attended a Mt. Vernon workshop under the auspices of the Bill of Rights Institute and the National Endowment for the Humanities, you might want to drop a line to the Templeton family and thank them for their generosity.

All application materials must be submitted by 5:00 PM EST on March 24, 2010.
